If you shop for groceries, you’ve probably noticed that prices are going up. And up. And up.

Over 3 years ago, I wrote a post on low cost meals. I think it’s time for another list of go-to recipes when the budget is tight.

As I said in the original post, some foods tend to make for lower cost meals. Pasta, rice, beans and eggs are all great items to build your meal on when you’re trying to save cash. Soup tends to be less expensive per serving, as well.
